“As long as Zelensky is president, no one should count on us giving up territory. He will not sign away territory,” Yermak told The Atlantic by phone from Kyiv. “The constitution prohibits this. Nobody can do that unless they want to go against the Ukrainian constitution and the Ukrainian people.”

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts.
I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

In 1924, Calvin Coolidge's 16-yr-old son played tennis on the White House grounds w/o wearing socks. He got a blister and was dead from infection a week later.
This is unthinkable today—which is why I wrote this series. Cuz the systems that save us from this kind of fate are in urgent need of care.

For a yr, I've been working on a series for The New Atlantis about the vast systems that underlie our lives. Our ancestors built them up over decades to fend off hunger, thirst, darkness and disease. But too few of us know about them—and they're all at risk. The conclusion is now available online:
Why We Are Better Off Than a Century Ago
Our ancestors built grand public systems to conquer hunger, thirst, darkness, and squalor. That progress can be lost if we forget it.

Sen. Mark Kelly delivered a warning every American should hear: a president who calls for lawmakers to be hanged for speaking truth is stochastic terrorism. He’s trying to rule by fear.
Our democracy survives only when its leaders answer to the Constitution, not to one moron’s fury.

New Gel Regrows Dental Enamel–Which Humans Cannot Do–and Could Revolutionize Tooth Care
Enamel does not regenerate; once you lose it it's gone forever. There is currently no solution available that can effectively regrow it.

65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

I used to have the faint hope that the human species was going to evolve beyond the tyranny of raging testosterone, which fuels gangs, militias, and wars across the globe, and throughout history.
But we are still primitive and clueless, and capable of destroying ourselves with one nuke launch.
